O/T Bing Crosby's Basement

When I was a kid I saw that whole game on TV (afternoon game). Barry, I remember that bad hop that hit Kubek in the throat like it was yesterday. He went down like he was shot.
BTW, in 1992 I did a customer dinner with Mickey Mantle as the guest. I asked him about Maz's homer. He said Yogi was playing LF and when the ball went out Yogi just turned, faced the LF wall, and just kept shaking his head. That was what Mickey remembered most about the game.

Jay- I feel like I saw some video of it a very long time ago, but I'm really not sure. That's why I asked the question if that video even exists. That would be a really great game to watch because there were so many dramatic moments, all at the end of the game.

The game was recorded by the major leagues, who made color movies every year of the world series. Lou Fonseca produced them. There is a nice color film of the series, with lots of highlights. But it will be great to see the whole game and especially to hear the gunner doing the first half. Of course, we have the radio broadcast, featuring Chuck Thompson's mistake about who was pitching ("Art Ditmar throws. Here's a swing and a high fly ball hit deep to left. This may do it....").
